I eat it all the time. I do the healthy Irish or Scottish oats (long
cooking) a lot but I also keep packets of Quaker Instant in my office.

I eat the Quaker Oats and what ever flavor I'm in the mood for. I can
sometimes eat 1 pkg or at least 3/4 of it. I love oatmeal :o)

I LOVE hot cereal...oatmeal, Zoom, Malt-o-meal, etc. I use carb countdown
high protein/low-carb milk and splenda. Yumm!

I eat oatmeal. I get the instant packs of the regular oatmeal. I put 3/4
scoop of whey protein (unflavored), 1/3 cup of powdered milk, 1/2 tsp brown
sugar (less than 2g sugar) and add hot water. It is 25 g of protein.

Im only 3 weeks out but I also enjoy oatmeal. I can eat not quite half of a
bag of Quaker instant. I also make it w/ skim milk for added protein! Its
nice on these cold winter days!

I eat the quaker instant often, however only the plain. all the other
flavors are packed w/ sugar and I dump on them. (not my favorite way to
start the day) I make it with milk instead of water for the protein, then
make my own flavors, IE. I add a couple spoons of unsweetened applesauce
& a srinkle of cinnamon & splenda. Or sugar free log cabin for
maple flavor, etc. You can also add a couple spoons of non fat dry milk
poweder for protein. I found I didn't like the whey protein mixed in.

The Qaker "nutrition for women" oatmeal has even more grams of
sugar than the others. It has a little soy in it but I'd rather not have
the sugar with my protein.

I also eat Quaker regular flavor instant oatmeal, almost every day. I make
it with skim milk, don't add anything to it and love it. I am over a year
out, so no problem with eating 1/2 cup of milk and packet of oatmeal. I was
eating this from the third day after surgery when I was at home. I was in a
hurry this morning and remembered to bring my milk to work, but I forgot my
oatmeal! Wah!

If I eat oatmeal (which I love) in the morning I'm hungry all day since it
is a carb. See how it affects you. Stay away from the "instant"
packets though as they're more refined and closer to a "white"
carb in terms of your insulin response.

I am three weeks out and my nutritionist lets me eat it although not the
instant. She has me mix it with enriched milk (1 cup nonfat powdered milk
mixed with 1 quart skim milk =18 grams of protein per cup). The protein
helps offset the carb count of the oatmeal and brings down the glycemic
index. I can only eat 1/4 cup at this time.
